Overview

• Two people were arrested by Bengal Police in the stone‑pelting attack on BJP MP Khagen Murmu and MLA Shankar Ghosh in Jalpaiguri’s Nagrakata, with arrests made in Nagrakata and Jaigaon.
• Murmu remains under treatment in Siliguri after head and facial injuries, and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee visited him in hospital and condemned the assault.
• A TMC delegation reached Agartala to inspect a vandalised party office, alleging they were initially blocked from leaving the airport before being escorted by police under convoy.
• The delegation met Tripura’s DGP, filed complaints naming BJP functionaries, demanded arrests and protection for workers, and said the police chief assured prompt action.
• BJP leaders accused TMC of enabling attacks on their representatives, while TMC blamed BJP for the Agartala ransacking; Tripura BJP denied an attack and said only flags were removed, as both disputes unfolded during severe North Bengal flood relief efforts.
